Folks, I want to boost your lovely posts, I really do but I won’t if you don’t write image descriptions (alt text) so people who use screen readers can also experience them.
It doesn’t take long to write one.
And if you’re posting an image of text and you have an iPhone, you can select the text from the image with a long press and copy/paste it.
Even Linux has apps that do this (like Frog: https://tenderowl.com/work/frog/)

@thevglibrary generally speaking alt text describes the most important bits of what the image wants to convey. That often means vibes, message, intent, text within the image, and potentially additional context. Wishing you luck and use it as an experiment to keep getting better! Everyone appreciates the effort.
